The chestnut-tailed starling or grey-headed starling or grey-headed myna (Sturnia malabarica is a member of the starling family. It is a resident or partially migratory species found in wooded habitats in India and Southeast Asia. The species name is after the distribution of a former subspecies in the Malabar region. While the chestnut-tailed starling is a winter visitor to peninsular India, the closely related resident breeding population with a white head is now treated as a full species, the Malabar starling (Sturnia blythii).

Being locked within 5 km radius again, I'm going through some photos shot within the short period when I could visit those slightly more distant places around Melbourne.
Strangely, I feel attracted by those with birds in flight...
Chestnut Teal (Anas castanea)
I spotted a bird displaying and I snapped a few shots from the car window, looked at the screen, and announced Chestnut-collared longspur. That led to a walk through the tick-infested grasses to photograph one. Fortunately, we found several and several ticks too.

This Chestnut-sided Warbler is a distinctive looking bird that to me looks more like a sparrow than a warbler.
The Chestnut-sided Warbler sings two song types: one is accented at the end, the other is not. The first is used before the arrival of the females and in the early nesting cycle. The second is used while raising young. With the clearing of primeval forests and the subsequent growth of shrubby habitats, it is one of the most abundant breeding warblers in second growth deciduous woodlands.
